Held at Dave & Molly's on 23rd February 2023.  Our excellent hosts provided us with excellent foods & good wines.

Wine No1.  2020 Villages Beaujolais La Camensard, France, 13% vol. Purchased from Asda at £7.50.  With a bright ruby appearance of medium intensity, this wine had plenty of sweetness evident with balanced acidity & some tannins & light body.  There was fruit taste in the mouth with a little lasting flavour.  This offering received mixed reviews but had a good 7/19 score.

Wine No 2.  2021 Pinotage Western Cape South Africa. 13% vol, purchased from Asda at £5,50.  This intense juicy offering with a bright ruby appearance had a pleasant bouquet & plum character.  There was strong sweetness, balanced acidity & strong tannins evident.  It had a medium body & good fruit taste in the mouth.  The flavour did last & we enjoyed this wine which attracted a score of 8/19.  Good value for the price.
